About the Company

Habitat For Humanity Omaha

Builds and renovates affordable housing

Habitat for Humanity of Omaha is a local non-profit group that builds and renovates affordable homes and forms community partnerships to expand homeownership opportunities in Burt, Douglas, Sarpy, Washington, and Cass Counties. Its process combines hands-on work by future homeowners and volunteers—homebuyers complete up to 275 hours of sweat equity—and a 30-year affordable mortgage, making homeownership achievable for families. The organization relies on donors and volunteers to fund and support construction, renovation, and related services. Its approach emphasizes community engagement, long-term affordability, and expanding the housing stock in the Omaha area rather than offering quick fixes.
